NFL gave Vilma a sworn affidavit from Gregg Williams stating Vilma offered $10k to knock out Favre

Mr. Sparkle said

He's stating the never intended for it to be anything other than clean hits but now believes the players might have taken it farther than he intended.

(And when I say "he", of course, I am referring to the NFL lawyer that drafted it.)

That way, the league can still punish the players, both for a PFP AND for going 'too far' while GW gets to proclaim his relative innocence, and the league gets to use the 'rogue player' defense in the concussion suits.

Yeah, you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Although, considering that this is the same schmuck who was begging his guys to target outside ACLs and such, it's pretty hilarious for Williams to claim that he was a victim of circumstance whose otherwise benign incentives program only got out of hand when the players went feral.

If Ginsburg ever gets him on the stand, he'll turn him into a man-sized pile of quivering Jell-o --- Col. Nathan R. Jessup to the nth degree.
